Description
Male urethral stricture is one of the oldest known urologic diseases, and continues to be a common and challenging urologic condition. Our objective was to review all contemporary and historial articles on the topic of dilation, internal urethrotomy, and stenting of male anterior urethral strictures. An extensive review of the scientific literature concerning anterior urethral urethrotomy/dilation/stenting was performed. Articles were included that met the criteria set by the International Consultation on Urological Diseases (ICUD) urethral strictures committee and were classified by level of evidence using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine criteria adapted from the work of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research as modified for use in previous ICUD projects. Using criteria set forth by the ICUD, a committee of international experts in urethral stricture disease reviewed the literature and created a consensus statement incorporating levels of evidence and expert opinion in regard to dilation, internal urethrotomy, and stenting of male anterior urethral strictures. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
